The health care system in America is a scam. I did not realize how absolutely ****ty the health care system was in the USA until I moved to a country with universal health care.

And why just presidents, what about despots?

My favorite, Havelock Vetinari "The Patrician", family motto:"Si non confectvs, non reficiat,"
(if it ain't broke, don't fix it.) Although it is pointed out in the novels
in which he appears, that "things that didn't work, frequently got
broken."
